Tom Cruise Middle Age Blues Spreading

You can tell actor Tom Cruise has done his share of work outs at the gym, but it's clear his days of glory are over.  The problem for Cruise in this photo clearly shows it's his mid section that needs thinning out.  It's clear from the photo Cruise once had killer abs with definition.

Like I've said many times throughout this blog, no one escapes the doom of middle age; not singer Barry Gibb, not Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, (the horror before and after at right) not even the former Greek god musician performer Yanni.  No one!  The most good looking people eventually fall victim to age. The most beautiful, the most spectacular of people all begin changing around 40+.

So if you're young enjoy it while you can because, like the rest of us, you're headed for a butt ugly middle age life.  One where you'll be forced to remove facial hair yearly, have sun spots removed, have painful IPL skin treatments, pluck gray from your eyebrows and have polyps and various warts removed.

Why did Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb do this to us?  This was cruel!

Why did Babs and Barry find it necessary to come back 30 years later to torment us?

So when you realize looks are fading, life changes and you begin to rely less on your appearance to open social doors and more on your intellect and great personality.

Still not a bad looking guy, Yanni's transformation into mid age is tragic for many of his 90's fans. It wasn't just all about his music, it was his mane of gorgeous hair!   We weep at the loss of his youth.  We weep for ourselves. We weep for humanity at large.

Yanni in the early 1990's *sigh*

I don't think I'll quite get over Yanni's transformation.  God's so cruel to make us all age.  Why must this happen?  Why???? Very few get better with age.  

Singer Julio Iglesias - Triple chin, what?

Julio Iglesias in early 1980's - Hypnotic

The most tragic is probably the loss of George Michael.   Age is much like earthquake or natural disaster changing things forever. No one escapes the ravages of time. No one!

George Michael in 2010 - We're all doomed.

What this all means is that the most attractive people of yesterday can turn into prunes in a matter of a couple decades.  I don't understand why any of these guys seek the limelight today being mere shells of their former lives.  They made it with their good looks and talent. I may speak for myself, but I don't think the public really needs these guys parading around and performing any more.  There's always fresh new faces and talent waiting to be discovered and it's their turn to shine now.  

I beg these old timer guys to leave us with our fond memories of them and to stay out of the public spotlight as much as possible. Otherwise, they should be aware how shocking and horrifying it is to so many of us who witnessed their hey day.  We be shocked!

It's Just a Root Canal Scam Mam!

A word of caution to anyone having old amalgam fillings over 20 years old - they'll eventually need replacing. Surprise!  I recently had my first amalgam filling replaced after I noticed heat sensitivity.  One day I was eating a french fry that caused me to nearly hit the roof in pain.

I posted a while back in April that a new dentist seemed to be exploiting the problem tooth to propose I pay for a root canal specialist's opinion.  According to my trusted dentist of 15 years who I had asked for a second opinion, the tooth didn't appear to need a root canal based on the Xray or tests.

After the tooth check up, a few months later the tooth became sensitive again out of the blue.  I feared the worst, that it was a possible root canal.  Coincidentally, the other dentist had also called around the time of new tooth pain to let me know it was time for a check-up.  I returned to my trusted dentist who suggested a plan of first replacing the old amalgam filling that could be the culprit and then moving forward based on the results. Well, the results are in and I'm relieved it was just an amalgam filling needing replacement after all! The sensitivity to heat is completely gone now.

I was relieved because I have no dental insurance. A root canal and crown is at least $2,000.  I used to pay $450 a year for dental insurance and, of course, nothing ever happened when I paid that amount.  I knew the moment I had no insurance things would start popping up in my mouth. The good news for me is I have porcelain crowns, a bridge and only two amalgam fillings left to replace.  I've had one root canal 20 years ago.  I'm hoping, never again.

I learned how some dentists try to exploit tooth symptoms for their profit.  The new dentist who had brought me in on her new patient coupon mailing told me she was nearly certain I needed a root canal.  It's important to always get a second opinion from a trusted source prior to letting any starving dentist lead you into an expensive specialist's chair.  The specialist was all set to charge $157 and God only knows where they would have led me from there.  However, I take note this dentist scam is nothing compared to attorneys' scams. Attorneys are among some of the biggest crooks on the planet aside from bankers. 

I've paid my dues in a dental chair over my lifetime with braces, head gears (the pain!), retainers and spacers, you name it.  I've had just about enough of it all except for maybe the laughing gas. I absolutely loved the laughing gas! 

Asian Delicacies - Fried Bats Anyone?

I think what a culture eats reveals a lot about itself. Take for instance Asian cuisine.

To the left appears to be a new Japanese cuisine: insect sushi.  There are even mating worms at bottom left. 






Check out these fine Chinese delicacies:

 

Scorpion soup anyone?

Ummm! Corn on the cob and skewered snake!

Yum! Skewered baby nestling sparrows

What would they ever do without fried mice?

 Those worms ain't no mini fries!

 On a cold winter day have some cockroach noodle soup why don't you?

Here's some stats on insect food taken from the Chibilicious Blog:

* There are edible insects. Most of them are and there are a few species that are palatable, high in nutrition and are easily obtainable.

* Many species of insect are very high in protein and low in fat. You have to admit, that is a good ratio.

* According to research, insects are tasty. If you are too grossed-out to have them as main dish, they could be converted to flour and be added to bread or other dishes for additional protein boost.

* Compared to meat, insects are easier to raise. You don’t have to clean manure or drag in hay to feed them. There are no veterinary bills and you can have them in your apartment and get no complaints.

* It is nowhere gory in butchering insects. I do not even want to compare how cattle are butchered for us to eat.

* The action of raising insects is environmentally friendly. They only need minimal space per pound of protein. They have less feed ration compared to other animals to raise and are very low in the food chain. And yet, they are healthy, tasty and IS part of the food chain (if you look closely how mankind, especially cavemen or early men lived on insects).

* No animal (or should I say insect) activists will fight you against eating insects. There are no wildlife habitat destroyed to eat insects. Insects and earthworms can even be incorporated into a recycling program… vegetable waste in, yummy insect protein out.

U.S. Navy Tries To Sneak In Plans for Destructive Ocean Coastal War Games

Like a criminal camouflages himself onto someone's property in the middle of the night to rob the sleeping occupant, the U.S. Navy's been disguising itself  with absurd environmental studies prior to genocidal war games against U.S. mammal life involving destructive acts against coastal natural resources.


Back in September I received an email from Activist Rosalind Peterson of the Agriculture Defense Coalition.  Peterson was sounding the threat alarm after having read the Navy's thousand-page environmental impact statement on its plans to conduct war games in U.S. Coastal waters for five years.

"I think that everyone along the way kept quiet about this; hoping it would go through without us really knowing and having a voice in the process," said Peterson.  KTVU.com 

The Navy acknowledges more than a half million marine mammals -- mostly whales and dolphins -- could be harmed by explosions and especially by sonar. But environmentalists say the true numbers could be as high as 11 million, even when warships are miles away.  All  this death and mayhem for military rehearsals for war games!

Pure Madness - Boys in the U.S. Navy Plan Their Pathetic War Games 

of Mammal Mass Genocide At the Expense of America's Coastal Communities

Boys will be boys with their war game toys!  They apparently think they'll have a lot of fun out on the ocean blowing things up and killing ocean life to make them feel like powerful men. The reality is they're nothing but pathetic cowards.  When Americans catch a whiff of what these military assholes have carelessly done to destroy our ocean coast, including protected ocean reserves, they will turn against their own military and government in the droves!


Listen to a spokesperson lie in describing this horrific fish kill:

Americans will draw the line when their government begins destroying, not protecting, natural resources like our coastal oceans.  Every normal person loves nature and the beauty of the ocean.  This kind of military behavior is unjustified and should be criminalized.  These military men should not be given free reign to do whatever they want in this country.  They work for us, and most all Americans would be opposed to this if the major media ever picked up this story to expose it.  These U.S. military men pose far more of a threat to America then alleged terrorists do because they obey the orders of criminals high up.

LBJ Had JFK Assassinated - Case Closed In My Mind

People are saying enough of the endless speculation on JFK's assassination!  I studied about the John F. Kennedy assassination in the mid 90's coming to the conclusion Lyndon B. Johnson was the prime suspect in JFK's murder.  It's now been confirmed with a recent series of articles under the theme's LBJ Killed JFK  tying all the loose ends together with a single fingerprint in the book depository. 

LBJ was an insane bastard who had President Kennedy killed so he could become President among other things. LBJ hated the Kennedys and blackmailed JFK into choosing him as his running mate.  Though others had supported LBJ in his motivations, LBJ was the prime force behind it all.

I always thought the JFK/LBJ combination seemed a little strange.  Apply some intuition, do you really think JFK would have chosen that bastard LBJ Texan as his running mate if he had choice? Hell no! 

"With their politics often in opposition, it seems odd that Kennedy chose Johnson to be his running mate in 1960. In fact, John Kennedy and his brother Robert didn't want any part of Johnson. But there was a problem.

John Kennedy had his personal demons. He was addicted to IV "meth" (methamphetamine) and steroids because of his severe back pain and chronic Hodgkins disease. He was also a womanizer. He had many affairs while a Senator and these were well documented by J. Edgar Hoover. Hoover, who had his own sexual demons [redacted] was himself blackmailed by organized crime and big oil interests into threatening the Kennedys with exposure of JFK's sexual activities unless he allowed Johnson a place on his ticket. Hoover played his card and the Kennedys reluctantly folded."

According to Kennedy's personal secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, both Bobby and John Kennedy were extremely upset about the decision.

In the room at the Biltmore Hotel... they were huddled together closely, on the bed, discussing about LBJ... Bobby would get, look out the window and stare. John would sit there and think. It was an intense 30 minutes... How to maneuver to get it so he (Johnson) wouldn't be on the ticket..." It was blackmail... the malicious rumors were fed to LBJ by J. Edgar Hoover about his (Kennedy's) womanizing... LBJ and Hoover had boxed him into a hole." - Source Article

One of the female guests was Medeline Brown, LBJ's girlfriend. Brown had met Johnson right after he won the Senate seat and following the "Box 13" scandal. He was celebrating his victory in a Texas hotel and first danced with Medeline, then handed her his hotel room key. The two had an affair spanning many years and their "meetings" were often arranged with the help of Johnson's assistants.

That night, Madeline remembers being surprised to see Johnson, as he was not scheduled to be at the dinner party.

"When Lyndon arrived they all went into a conference room and you could just feel the atmosphere. When Lyndon came out... he was red in the face... he took my hand and said, 'Those god damned Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That's not a threat. That's a promise!'" -Article

Surprise!  Oswald was trained as an CIA agent!

 Oswald was a patsy fall man who was completely innocent of killing John F. Kennedy

Lyndon B. Johnson's guilty of arranging for a hit murder on JFK.  This case is officially closed.

*Just a note that at one point the article referenced refers to JFK being a closet homosexual I've redacted. I  think that was just a misinterpretation since it was J. Edgar Hoover who as the homosexual who was involved.

Mysterious Pulse Light From Newly Discovered Earth Detected in 2008

In December 2008, Dr Ragbir Bhathal, a scientist at the University of Western Sydney, picked up the odd signal, long before it was announced that the star Gliese 581 has habitable planets in orbit around it. 

Dr Bhathal's discovery had come just months before astronomers announced that they had found a similar, slightly less habitable planet around the same star 20 light years away. This planet was called Gliese 581e.   Dr. Bhathal said:

 "Whenever there’s a clear night, I go up to the observatory and do a run on some of the celestial objects. Looking at one of these objects, we found this signal.  And you know, I got really excited with it. So next I had to analyse it. We have special software to analyse these signals, because when you look at celestial objects through the equipment we have, you also pick up a lot of noise.   We found this very sharp signal, sort of a laser lookalike thing which is the sort of thing we’re looking for - a very sharp spike. And that is what we found. So that was the excitement about the whole thing." - Mail-Online Article 

Dr. Steven Vogt who led the study at the University of California, Santa Cruz, today said that he was '100 per cent sure ' that there was life on the planet. The planet lies in the star's 'Goldilocks zone' - the region in space where conditions are neither too hot or too cold for liquid water to form oceans, lakes and rivers. The planet also appears to have an atmosphere, a gravity like our own and could well be capable of life. Researchers say the findings suggest the universe is teeming with world like our own.

Vogt told Discovery News:

""Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can, I would say that the chances for life on this planet are 100 percent. I have almost no doubt about it," Steven Vogt, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at University of California Santa Cruz, told Discovery News. - Earth-like Planet Can Sustain Life

The Mail-Online article continued:

The planet is so far away, spaceships traveling close to the speed of light would take 20 years to make the journey. If a rocket was one day able to travel at a tenth of the speed of light, it would take 200 years to make the journey.





Certain physicists such as David Sereda say these aliens have found ways to travel the speed of light through transformation of frequencies to that of transparency.

Scary Monsters - Signs of Attorney Corruption and Burn Out

I got another sign of the corruption of high level people in law the other day when I performed a loan signing for an attorney at her home in Pacific Heights.  I did a Google search to learn who she was prior to the signing because this lady sounded really needy in a routine call I made to confirm the appointment.

When we first spoke, this single attorney, in her mid-50's, was all out of breath sounding overwhelmed so I knew I was going to have a hard time with her from the get go. The next day I got a call from her that she had rescheduled the appointment for the next day having requested the bank change some figures, which has never happened to me before.  The bank confirmed such a request was unusual.

So here's how the signing began. I  arrived at 2:00 p.m. on my cute little folding electric bicycle that has advertising for Nob Hill Notary plastered all over it along with a little flag banner on the back.  As I went to the door of the Pacific Heights home, which was fairly nice but nothing that impressive, I stood on the steps a few moments to make sure my hair and clothing was in place after the ride.  The attorney was apparently aware of me the entire time in how she opened the door and asked what was taking so long, questioning if I couldn't figure out how to work her door knocker hanging on the door.  The attorney then promptly pointed me to her dining room table and she proceeded as one of the very few who didn't offer me any refreshments.

As we proceeded with the signing, the attorney immediately began complaining about the bank and process for her refinance.  This complaining isn't all to uncommon so I lent a sympathetic ear and proceeded.  Okay, here goes with what followed.

Signs of Corruption - Many Attorneys Believe They're Above the Law

A Partner Attorney from a Top Law Firm Expected Me To Provide Legal Advice to Her During Loan Signing (Unauthorized Practice of Law)

Next the attorney immediately began to complain I wasn't explaining the loan documents to her  which would have been a violation of the law.  As a notary public, there are strict laws in which I cannot provide legal advice in explaining loan documents, only directing the borrower to where things are, such as where she can find interest rates and her monthly mortgage payments, or where she is to sign.

After I explained to the attorney my providing such legal guidance for her loan documents would constitute the unauthorized practice of law, she insisted a previous loan signing agent had done it for her.  Clearly she was hoping to manipulate any insecurity I might have in order to try and influence me to violate the law to assist her. I was appalled to say the least.  Most people have their act together and know what they're doing.  You'd think an attorney with a nice home in Pacific Heights would know what she was doing with her refinance loan documents.

A Partner Attorney Claimed She Had Never Been Required to Take an Oath for a Notarization Before and Believed It was Unnecessary Mocking My Suggestion I Could Go to Prison For Not Administering It

A few documents in refinance loan packages, such as signature affidavits, require an oath to be taken of the borrower by a notary public. In an emerging pattern of protests over my following the law, this attorney immediately complained upon my requesting an oath from her claiming "no one has ever asked me to take an oath for a notarization before!"  After her vehement protest, I explained I could go to prison for not taking an oath. The attorney responded "I don't think so."   The attorney continued to reason she had no idea if the bank's statements in the document were true, so why should she have to take an oath?  While that reasoning seemed quite legitimate, I nonetheless began to consider stopping the loan signing which I am required to do when a borrower is having such problems.

After I told the attorney I was considering stopping the loan signing since she was obviously uncomfortable, she immediately behaved herself claiming she didn't want to have to go through it again.  As we finally got through all the papers the time came for the attorney to sign my notarial journal for the notarizations of four documents.

A Partner Attorney at a Major Law Firm Claimed My Requesting Her to Sign My Notarial Journal Multiple Times was Completely Unnecessary Claiming One Signature was Sufficient

I thought after I threatened to stop the signing the attorney wouldn't complain anymore but I was wrong.  At the end of the signing process, as is procedure, I requested she sign my journal four times. All she had to do was sign under her printed name for the four documents I notarized for her and give her thumb print.  It was apparently too much to ask! The attorney immediately protested signing multiple times for each document type alleging she had never signed more than once in a notarial journal before.  I had to blink twice since I could hardly believe this was happening.

In response to her allegations I was requesting something unnecessary of her highness, I explained I had checked a while back with the National Notary Association that confirmed that California Secretary of State Debra Bowen was enforcing notaries to have people sign in the journal for each document notarized.  Still the attorney wanted to argue, so much so that she had the audacity to leave a voice mail for her secretary in front of me about it.  The attorney kept me waiting with her phone call asking "are people required to sign more than once in a notary's journal?"

Sensing I wouldn't be processing her notarized documents without her cooperation, the attorney signed the journal as if it was a huge ordeal and effort to make.  Four whole signatures!  No one had ever complained about signing my journal before, ever!  Many people at these signings are required to sign 10 times.  These other borrowers understand I am a public servant who is trained and responsible for knowing the law,  but not this attorney who obviously thinks she's above it.

A Partner Attorney at a Major Law Firm Stated Her Legal Secretary Disagreed With My Claim it was a Legal Requirement to Sign My Notarial Journal For Each Notarization

The next day I was required to obtain another notarization from the attorney for a second Deed of Trust. This time I met with at her law firm offices.  At the meeting, the attorney immediately confirmed without my inquiry what her legal secretary had originally claimed saying that a notary public can provide "dittos" of the signatures after the first one is completed. I said, "oh, really?"  The attorney added with great confidence "it is recommended by not legally required" for me to obtain a signature in my notarial journal for each notarization.  I confirmed the notary's name with the attorney for future reference, "So your secretary's name is such and such?" I asked,  blood beginning to boil. 

One might imagine that by this time I had quite enough of this attorney's protests over my following the law doing my job as a notary public.  The attorney attempted to rewrite the laws for me to follow in proclaiming with great confidence  "There's no legal requirement  for you to obtain a signature in your journal for each notarized document."  In retrospect, I wonder what happens to people who rely on attorney's advice such as these? I'm referring to these kind of attorneys who just kind of make up the law as they go based on what their legal secretary tells them, or what one wishes to hear to make their life easier?

I imagined if I had an attorney I worked for like this lady who paid me a good salary I might be greatly intimidated from following the law as such and make things as convenient as possible for her.  Regardless, when another notary public such as myself is treated as if I don't know what I'm doing though I have clearly stated the law, and the attorney chooses to disregard and still believe whatever she wants to believe, I take issue.

The attorney's legal secretary has since been reported to the California Secretary of State for not following Section 8206 insisting it is not a legal requirement to obtain signatures for each notarization.  I made it clear in my complaint I gave all the information on the law that the attorney refused to accept in her insisting I wasn't following proper procedure to require proper signatures in my journal.  Nothing will come of the complaint I'm sure, but it needed to be done nonetheless.  An attorney gave me a very hard time in my following the law and I take issue with her trying to lure me into her type of corruption in being above the law.

A Brilliant David Bowie's Scary Monsters = Scary Burn Out Attorneys

Basically, we all know this attorney should know better.  This scary monster attorney may be one of those typical overworked burned out women at law firms, but she chose to override my notifying her of the law.  This attorney treated me with contempt and didn't believe a word I told her.  Off to the complaint box she goes.

Breaking News: Press Conference Discloses UFO's Disarming U.S. Nuke Missles

My have times changed! Today the main media's been giving live press coverage to U.S. air force military men disclosing UFO's mysterious disarmament of U.S. missile nukes among other things.

This all seems to be well timed with the New York Times best-seller UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record  I posted about earlier.  Kean's book is currently 30 and rising on the New York Times best-seller list. Leslie Kean's book is largely credited with having shifted perceptions contributing to continued UFO Extraterrestrial Disclosure by highly credentialed level people.



Here's visual evidence and testimony of a government air force official:

I Endorse Michael Nava for San Francisco Superior Court Judge

My blog officially endorses Michael Nava for San Francisco Superior Court Judge who is challenging sexist asshole 30 year Republican partner attorney Judge Richard Ulmer's seat.  Judge Ulmer (aka Judge Ulcer) was a creep who overlooked tons of evidence I had in his having whitewashed my latest conclusive evidence obtained from IP address recorders on this blog.  In fact, I recently filed a complaint against Judge Ulmer with the California Commission on Judicial Performance last month.

The Bay Area Reporter writes:

"It is unusual for incumbent judges to be challenged at the ballot box. But Judge Richard Ulmer, whom the governor appointed last summer, has not been on the bench for long. A former Republican, Ulmer, who is now registered as decline-to-state, had previously worked as an attorney at several Bay Area law firms. Ulmer is affable and knows the law, however, that is not reason enough to elect him to a full six-year term."

Since 2007, I've had problems with an intrusive hostile person whose had a long history of problematic behavior on the Internet.  I filed mountains of evidence including subpoenas, court transcripts and a deposition supporting a well deserved case for a restraining order.  The latest evidence I had was IP address logs and ultimate proof of one of five visitors who had read and acknowledged a Saturday morning article on this blog.  Such person had sent a typical disturbing email traced to his blog visit that morning.

At a hearing in July, 2010, Judge Ulmer whitewashed my evidence making a blanket statement that demonstrated he gave preference to a young attorney who he clearly favored regardless of the facts.  In fact, I was disallowed from any oral testimony as a Plaintiff and the defendant wasn't even required to appear in court.  Judge Ulmer required upfront for me to provide evidence only a subpoena could obtain that was completely ludicrous in view of cumulative and strong supporting evidence.  A judge had previously reviewed the evidence granting the hearing prior to my appearing to testify, yet I was ultimately cut off by politics.

Ultimately Judge Ulmer overlooked so many disturbing aspects of the case, it was clear he was playing gender politics in preference for the ego gratification of a young two year attorney.  This is why our court system is corrupt because judges are playing politics overlooking facts and evidence. Such is why I'm supporting Michael Nava, the people's judge who is far better qualified to be Judge then some asshole partner attorney from Latham & Watkins LLP.

UN Welcome Wagon for Extraterrestrials is Astrophysicist Mazlan Othman?

According to Internet buzz that began with an article from the London Telegraph, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is about to acknowledge the large amounts of credible evidence of extraterrestrials visiting our planet.  Astrophysist Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is allegedly preparing to accept an appointment as the UN's coordinator for human response to extraterrestrials in anticipation of aliens making contact with earthlings.  Professor Richard Crowther, an expert in space law and governance at the UK Space Agency and who leads British delegations to the UN on such matters, said “Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a ‘take me to your leader’ person.”

World government is way behind the times since someone long ago already made contact and channeled the extraterrestrials through a song.  The late singer Karen Carpenter made the official connection with the Carpenters' 1977 hit Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft that Wikipedia describes as the recognized anthem of World Contact Day.  The song wasn't a Carpenter original however, having been formerly released by Klaatu (sorry, never heard of the guy).  The Carpenters thought so highly of the composition they turned the song into a 160 musician orchestrated event.

The Carpenters version of Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft charted worldwide as a hit and appeared on several of their (mostly hits collections) albums. The success of the Carpenter's version led to the duo receiving many letters from people asking when World Contact Day would be held. 

The idea for the song is explained on Wikipedia:

John Woloschuk, a member of Klaatu and one of the song's composers, has said:

The idea for this track was suggested by an actual event that is described in The Flying Saucer Reader, a book by Jay David published in 1967. In March 1953 an organization known as the "International Flying Saucer Bureau" sent a bulletin to all its members urging them to participate in an experiment termed "World Contact Day" whereby, at a predetermined date and time, they would attempt to collectively send out a telepathic message to visitors from outer space. The message began with the words..."Calling occupants of interplanetary craft!"
